Free Palestine rally outside Metropolitan Art Museum
While celebrities dazzled at the Met Gala, a contrasting scene unfolded outside as thousands of Free Palestine demonstrators marched through Manhattan.
Advocating against the Israeli war on Gaza, thousands of Free Palestine demonstrators chanted slogans and waved flags.
Despite police attempts to control the situation, tensions rose with several arrests reported.
The protest had no apparent link to ongoing campus demonstrations.
Some participants held cardboard signs with messages like “No Met Gala While Bombs Drop in Gaza” and “No Celebration Without Liberation.”
The Met Gala is an annual event that draws celebrities, fashion designers and significant media coverage.
It serves as a massive fundraiser for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
